According to Gavin Cooper  <skreech at socket.net>:

The last time I looked Python 2.0's built-in SSL doesn't do servers.
Somebody posted patches to c.l.py to do that, but I can't seem to find 
a copy nor a pointer on my disk.

M2Crypto does SSL clients and servers and works with both Python
1.5.2 and Python 2.0. 

For server examples, the package comes with the canonical "echo" server
done the following ways:

- iterative
- forking
- threading, 2 flavours
- asynchronous socket i/o
